Grape Ivy

14 years ago

Does anyone know anything about grape ivy? It is a sort of piggy-back ivy and is so beautiful. I wish I could find some, I haven't been able to find any in years.

Thanks.

I know they are extremely hard to find. I have tried. A friend of mine cut a small stem and I was able to root it in water. 1 stem. Now I just have to pray it will grow so I can take more cuttings.

Debi, your pic doesn't work. It says deleted or moved. Tell me, did you win your Cissus on Ebay? The seller had several auctions, titled grape/oak leaf ivy. Of course I had to have one..it arrived today..it's not a grape ivy, it's oak leaf ivy..I'm happy. Walmart sometimes sells grape ivy's, and although they're beautiful, especially when mature and hanging in a sunny spot, I prefer oak leaf.. So let me know if you won your plant on Ebay. The Oak Leaf won is big. I've got to dl new plant pics, haven't had time since I've been repotting. 3 days of repotting! lol..Try another picture..Toni One more thing. Ppl have different concepts regarding light conditions..What one might deem 'x' window full sun, someone else might call it bright light. There's confusion when ppl discuss light conditions. When I worked at Rentokil and Home Depot, customers would ask questions about light. Because a tag said, bright light, they jumped to the conclusion that plant needed desert sun. lol..NOT! Unless someone literally sees a room during the day, we can only assume. See if your AV flowers. If it doesn't, then it's not because the area didn't have sufficient light. It could be your AV. Oversized pot, lack of fertlizers, etc. If your AV's potted in soil-less mix, it need more fertilizer than a plant potted in soil. Good luck..Toni

Stem Cutting Question; about grape ivy, impatiens, german ivy....

I do impatiens all the time in softened well water. I currently have about a dozen cuttings that I took about a month or so ago, with nice long healthy white roots. I don't change the water at all, just add more when it's low. Maybe that's the difference? I use a piece of clear tape across the tops of my bottles to keep them from falling in; I don't think the aluminum foil would make a difference, though. I don't fertilize them until they are planted, and even then I hold off for a few weeks. Good luck to you :-) cantstop

Linda, thanks! I only wish cuttings could survive the mail! I am glad to hear you have a large plant. I was beginning to wonder if this plant was something I had dreamed up. Have you had your plant a long time? Do you know of a source for a pic of this plant? Maybe I could take it to a local nursery for tips how to find!

The only plant that ever developed powdery mildew in my home was a grape ivy! Until then, I was a huge fan, too, lol. I have noticed that they have been strangely missing from garden centers and green houses in the past few years. I have no idea why. Maybe our Mr. Subjunctive will see this and chime in.

There are thousands of images, I am sure. Just type in 'grape ivy' into google...then click on 'images'.

I've seen a local Home Depot sell small 4" pots of grape ivy, and they have even carried large hanging baskets of it recently as well. I've bought at least 3 small pots of it in the past 6 months for myself and my mother.

After a long search I found Glasshouse Works in Ohio, offering 4 varieties, but alas Canada Customs require a biological certificate, costing $45. A friend killed the ivy formerly raised by my dearest departed, so you see I am committed to replace it. Any help for Canada would be appreciated.
